Boost Wheat Yield: Cow Dung Irrigation Method for Strong Ears, Abundant Grains
- •Agricultural scientist Dr. C.K. Tripathi from Krishi Vigyan Kendra Sultanpur recommends a traditional cow dung method for wheat irrigation.
- •Place a jute sack filled with old cow dung manure at the water pipe's mouth during irrigation to evenly distribute nutrients across the field.
- •This method provides direct nutrition to wheat plants, strengthening them and promoting healthy, quick ear emergence.
- •The technique helps protect wheat crops from rising temperatures, which can negatively impact ear development and grain quality.
- •Farmers should also remove weeds like 'Gehun ka Mama' and maintain light, frequent irrigation during ear emergence to ensure optimal grain filling and prevent thin grains.
Why It Matters: Utilize cow dung manure during wheat irrigation for stronger plants, abundant grains, and higher yields at low cost.
